Network Topology

I have prepared a ppt on a basic topic of network topology, which can be useful to many students of many different fields to have a basic and good understanding of the following topic. Hope you find this helpful 🙂

Here you can read the summarised version of my ppt-

Network topology is like the blueprint of a network, outlining how devices are connected. It's essentially the physical or logical arrangement of network components. Think of it as the road map for data to travel within a network.
Common topologies include:
* Bus topology: Devices are connected in a single line, like houses on a street. A break in the cable can disrupt the entire network.
* Ring topology: Devices form a closed loop, with data flowing in one direction. A failure in one device can affect the whole network.
* Star topology: Devices are connected to a central hub, like spokes on a wheel. It's reliable as a failure in one device won't affect others.
* Mesh topology: Every device is directly connected to every other device, creating a highly redundant and reliable network.
* Tree topology: A hierarchical structure, like an inverted tree, with a root node and branches.
The choice of topology depends on factors like the size of the network, the desired level of reliability, and cost considerations.
